LETTER. 


Treasury  Office,  - ^ 
Harrisburg,  April  20, ‘ 1841,  y 


CKARLKS  C.  SuLLI  VAJif,  S»l- 

Sin: — As  you  did  me  the  favor  to  present  to  the  Senate,  yesterday,  a table 
relative  to  the  finished  improvements  of  this  State,  which  was  prepared  by  me 
with  great  care,  it  may  not  be  deemed  unimportant  to  give  some  further  infor- 
mation in  reference  to  it  than  it  may  he  understood  to  convey ; and,  for  this 
purpose,  I make  the  following  explanation,  vi^:  The  cost  embraces  the  original 
construction,  such  as  work  done,  repairs  before  completion,  damages,  engi» 
neering  expenses,  &c.,  and  the  new  work  up  to  the  1st  of  November,  1840. 
The  revenue  is  made  up  of  canal  tolls,  railroad  tolls,  and  motive  power.  The 
expenditures  consist  of  repairs,  ordinary  and  extraordinary,  salaries  of  agents, 
motive  power,  locomotives,  ropes,  implements,  &c, — in  short,  all  expenses  neces- 
sarily attendant  upon  the  operation  of  the  works.  The  revenue  and  expendi- 
tures are  arranged  for  each  financial  year,  from  the  1st  November,  1829,  to  the 
31st  October,  184Q.  The  whole  table  has  been  prepared  from  the  official 
records  of  this  an<J  the  Auditor  General’s  office. 


Very  respectfully, 

Your  qb’t  serv’t, 

JNO.  W.  HAMMOND,
